The committee appointed by the meet
ing of June 18th, to organize County
Live Stock and Agricultural Association.
met June 25th, 1887.
The time being very limited in which
to make preparation for the fair in Sep
TENDER, it was deemed best to organize
at once.
The following gentlemen were selected
as Directors, to serve until their success
ors were elected, viz:
J. Gilmore, Ira Jennings, NJ. L. Lacey,
J. NJ. Summers. Daniel Bradbury, Chas.
Thompson, r. B. Elliot. E. A. Hall and
J. E. Doom.
Daniel Bradbury was elected President
and J. E. Doom Secretary.
An application for Charter was for
warded to the Secretary of State.
The name of the organization is to be
The Thomas County Live Stock and
Agricultural Association"
Place of business, Colby. Kansas.
Capital stock. 81. 10000. in shares of 81
each
Object: To develop the agricultural
| and live stock interests of Thomas cOun
ty.
Term of existence, % years.
The necessary papers were prepared
by Jos. A. Gill, and were forwarded to
the Secretary of State on Saturday. June
%, 1887.
The Board of Directors. in assuming
the duties assigned them, appeal to the
citizens of the county for generous
support. Few realize the amount of labor
and money which is required to success
fully start an enterprise Of this kind.
GrouS DIS have to be secured and prepar-
ed, premium lists arranged. Competent
Judges selected, all details have to be
carefully prepared and last. but not least
the funds secured with which to pay
premiums and necessary expenses.
The shares of stock ($I are SO small in
amount, that every man and woman in
the county can take one, if not more.
Every farmer, whether he exhibits any
thing or not, should take stock, in order
that it may be kept, what it is intended
to be-a Farmers Society. He should
attend the fair with his family, and see
| the productions and stock in the county
Every beeder or dealer in live stock,
should contribute literally by taking
stock in the association and exhibiting
such stock as he has for sale.
Every merchant should contribute lib
orally, as there is nothing which will
bring larger crowd, or cause the ex-
penditure of more money than a fair,
properly conducted.
We invite the cooperation of the la
dies. as it is proposed to devote ample
space for such articles as they may wish
to exhibit.
In conclusion, we earnestly invoke the
aid of all well wishers of Thomas county.
Let us. by united effort. make manifest
to the world that our county is the equal
if not superior to any in northwest Kan
SaS.
In order to enable all to contribute, as
soon as possible we shall designate gen.
tlemen to solicit subscription for stock.
Subscription papers will also be left at
each of the banks in Colby.

KANSAS CROPS.

TOPEKA KAs., July 5.-The kansas
Farmer" presents this week the most
complete crop report which it ever pub
lished. containing statements from new
counties. Wheat is all harvested. In a
few localities it was very good. the yield
and quality being fully up to the best
wheat years. In other places it was very
poor, some fields being plOwed up for
other crops On the whole the wheat
crop of the state will not exceed % per
cent of that harvested three years ago.
Oats Jared better than wheat. and will
thresh out perhaps half an average CROP
The causes assigned by correspondents
for the shortage in these two crops are
the drouth last fall and spring and chinch
bugs. Corn is reported good in every
part of the state. The acreage exceeds
that of any former year by at least %
per cent. If the season is favorable to
the end Kansas will raise this year $780,
OOO 600 bushels of corn. There is little
complaint of dry weather. Rain has been
abundant the last 40 days, and well dis
tributed all over the state. All the grass
crops are growing well, and stock is in
good plight. Apples and cherries show
fairly well. and there are some peaches.
A great many fruit trees have been set
out in the new counties. Altogether the
state is in good condition.-Ex.

May do for stupid boys excuse but
what can be said for the parent who

to recognize the want Of tonic and

rule in well-regulated families but now
all intelligent households keep Ayers

to the taste, and the most searching and
effective blood medicine ever discovered.

in impure blood, and induced her to take

ROUGH ON THE HUsBAND.-The Man
chester England Courier tells good story.
Lady Arden had the toothache. Ali RENE
dies failed. She decided to send to Edin-
burgh, fifty miles from Clydesdale Castle,
for dentist. When lie arrived she declared
that ner derves were in such condition that
she could not submit to the operation unless
she saw it performed on some one else brst.
No one Offering himself as q sacrifice, she
told Lord Arden that he must have tooth
out in order that she might judge whether
she could endure the operation. He ap-
peared very much disconnected, and expos
tulated to 40 purpose, and finally, like an
obedient husband, submitted, and had
sound tooth drawn from his jaw. after
which she declared that she had seen enough
to convince her that she could not endure
the oneration.

His Dream DisneIIed.

a consulship sounds very big till you get
there There are innumerable islands in
the South Pacific, and tribes who declare
war, fight, proclaim procIamations OF def.
ance and seem altogether extraordinarily
heroic. The United States sent a consul to
one group lately wherein the ideal was
grand, immense. Keeling subjects in the
shape of American citizens, suppliant chiefs
and trembling kings, with all the attendant
gorgeousness and dignity, filed his minds
eve. He "bustedi himself on an outfit,
laid in an elegant dress suit pair of patent
leather shoes, white ties, white gloves and
an enormous diamond pin for his shirt front.
Thus equipped he sailed away with all the
conscious pride of q representative of
grand republic From the port he landed
at he was conveyed in g small sailing vessel
to the point CT oflicialdom. as the ship en-
tered the citing tho flag of the United States
gayly flying al tbs masthead, the white res
idents of the island came of in small boat
to welcome him. The new official received
them ailnbly, was quite amiable, and did
not put on too many airs.
Come on shore with Us and we'll pre-
sent you to the king" said the welcomers.

can put on all your fnery and call on him
again. He's waiting for you"
"Waiting for me ?''
